Alright, so in planning to write Mordin as a bit of caricature of Doctor Who in Mock Effect 2, I need a bit of help. I've watched the show since the reboot with Eccleston, but haven't been enough of a fan to remember all the best lines. Youtube has been a help, but does anyone have any Doctor components they would like to see? They may not make it in, but still I'm eager to see what you have.

Are you planning on having him based on any specific Doctor?
If everyone survives the suicide mission, you definitely need him to declare that 'everybody lives!' though.

No. The doctor is the doctor. They are all the same organism.

I know, but every regeneration is a little different.

Then think of Mordin as Doctor 18. He can quote everybody.

Hmm, I'll have to go re-watch Eccleson and Tennant.

Okay, I realize that this is from "Torchwood", but hey, it's a "Doctor Who" spinoff. And yeah, season one was a frigging mess, but at least there was this:
TOSHIKO: Has she gone home?
CAPTAIN JACK: I reset the coordinates.
TOSHIKO: Where to?
CAPTAIN JACK: To the center of the Sun. It shouldn't be hot, I mean, we sent her there at night and everything.
TOSHIKO: You killed her.
CAPTAIN JACK: YES!
(I thought that a similar exchange would work well in "Mock Effect 2", you may or may not agree.)
From season two:
OWEN: How'd you know that?
IANTO: I know everything! And it says so on the bottom of the screen.
(I could see Joker and Jane using those kind of lines.)
JACK: What is it with you? Ever since Owen died, all you've done is agree with him!
IANTO: I was brought up not to speak ill of the dead. Even if they do still do most of their talking for themselves.

Okay, here's a proper "Who" quote (from Eccleson's Doctor):
JACKIE: I'm in my dressing gown.
THE DOCTOR: Yes, you are.
JACKIE: There's a strange man in my bedroom.
THE DOCTOR: Yes, there is.
JACKIE: Anything could happen.
THE DOCTOR: No. (walks away)
And from Matt Smith's Doctor:
THE DOCTOR: Rory! (feedback whines; music stops) That's a relief! I thought I had burst out of the wrong cake. Again. That reminds me, there's a girl standing outside in a bikini. Can someone let her in, give her a jumper? Lucy. Lovely girl. (whispers) Diabetic. (everyone continues staring at him) Now then, Rory, we need to talk about your fiancée. (Rory smiles) She tried to kiss me. (crowd draws breath; Rory is visibly shocked) Tell you what though, you're a lucky man; she's a great kisser! (glass smashes; Doctor realizes what he just said) ...Funny how you can say something in your head and it sounds fine.
Followed be:
RORY: Yours is bigger than mine.
THE DOCTOR: Let's not go there.
And:
THE DOCTOR: This is bad, I don't like this. (kicks console and yells) Never use force, you just embarass yourself. Unless you're cross, in which case, always use force!
AMY: Shall I run and get the manual?
THE DOCTOR: I threw it in a supernova.
AMY: You threw the manual in a supernova? Why?
THE DOCTOR: Because I disagreed with it! Now stop talking to me when I'm cross!

I've got a bunch so far. Not sure what I'm going to use though. Can't have Dr. Mordin overshadowing Jane.

THE DREAM LORD: If you die in the dream, you wake up in reality. Healthy recovery in next to no time. Ask me what happens if you die in reality. RORY: What happens? THE DREAM LORD: You die, stupid. That's why it's called "reality". And if you don't use this next one, I probably will! RORY: Oh, a poncho. The biggest crime against fashion since lederhosen. AMY: Ah, here we go. Oh, my boys, my poncho boys, if we're going to die, let's go out looking like a Peruvian folk band. Edit: Ah, heck with it, *now* I read you have plenty. Late as always....

FanTASTic! I was going to say 'fantastic' ;D Since Eccleston's tenure, I still say that in everyday conversation. I tell you - I absolutely hated Tennant's portrayal and every series after Eccleston left - but that's only because I was so in love with the way Eccleston played it. For my tastes, he was just the perfect Doctor. As for quotes, I dunno. It was more his general demeanor. To be honest, I can't see how Mordin would resemble him... maybe the Tennant version... but I'll look forward to seeing where you're going with this, Clint. Here's Eccleston at his best. I don't know if it will help, but - hey - he's so good!

If he dies, have a orange light begin to burn out of him before the Shepard's flee to the Normandy. You could also have his lab seem bigger on the inside, because it always felt like it was to me!

LOL. Good one glow.
My favorite was definitely eccleston too. He was just full of energy.

Eccles was by far my favourite too; Tennant is nice, but I like the more world-weary moments Eccles has....and the leather jacket.
He was full of a different kind of energy than Tennant--less manic.
Mind you, I haven't seen the new new guy.
